Range and Splash help

[Superclaude]

Is there a way to make so that a hero picks an item and then it gives like 500 range.
And same thing for splash just so it looks like a shotgun when a range hero pick up an item?

 

[Airandius]

U can't increase range with items. xD
At least that's what I heard.

 

[Superclaude]

Well maybe giving it like a custom item ability.

This can be that..it is making of new unit , which has that range ...if is that hero that have same items as that unit before item picked , exeprience and level too, just not learned abilities
and I made that item undroppable , beecause if it will drop this item so u must have more difficult trigger than this for it ... but if uwant it I can make it

i know a way but its pretty difficult. You choose an item for the +range and +splash.

Then you do a trigger. And you create two unit (one without +range and the other with +range)

Event : When unit come within 1.00 range of (+splash item)

Action : Kill triggering unit
Create 1 (+range unit) for owner of triggering unit at position of (triggering unit) facing 0 degrees.

Hope you understand coz it works for me

Use phoenix fire, but it wont attack the way u want I think.. xD

What you can try is to add Metamorphosis to the item which triggers/turns your unarmed hero into an armed hero, for example a Shotgunner. And off course, when you drop the item, the Metamorphosis ends.

Seen it loads of times.

This.
Also, set the duration to 0.000 for both Normal and Hero, so that it is a Permanent metamorphosis.

Does cleaving attack works for range splash?

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Nope, only melee.

Just set the range of the hero to max and use this trigger to change aquisition range. This should work. I tested the aquisition range thing and if the aquisition range is lower than the range, the range will be set as the aquisition range. And as far as the splash for ranged attacks goes, the Orb of Fire ability give splash damage, even for ranged units. But the splash only does whatever the bonus damage is, like if this item give 10 bonus damage, the splash will only do 10 damage.

    • Unit - Set (Hero manipulating item) acquisition range to ((Current acquisition range of (Hero manipulating item)) + 500.00)

[Superclaude]

I just tried it and you cant add range with the trigger you showed me.
It ends like
Unit - Set (Hero manipulating item) acquisition range to (Current acquisition range of (Hero manipulating item))

 

[wolfman]

you have to do arithmetic so you can add values together.
you can also divide, multiply, and subtract as many values as you wat with arithmetic. when you do the (Current acquisition range of (Hero manipulating item)) part you have to scroll all the way up on that bar and arithmetic will be the first choice then it should say (1.00 + 1.00) just substitute the 1.00 with what values you need. you can also click the + and change to -, /, x

 

[Vegavak]

You can increase attack range with items.

Using the human rifleman upgrade(permanent), or by making attack range MASSIVE and setting the auto-acquisition to the range you want. So even if you have a 2000 range hero, his attack range will be whatever his acquisition range is. Which can be boosted with items/triggers easily.

At least, that's how I'm using it.

 

[Superclaude]

I just noticed that it didnt work after i tested my map.
it does the same range as when he doesnt have any item.

 

[wolfman]

yeah i tested this out too and i have no idea what the problem is. The trigger looks like it should work...

 

[darkrider]

why dont you use a research that comes with the item and makes the unit to upgrade when the item is picked? that way you are gonna increase your range (for splash damage in range you might use orb of fire) but i if you drop the item the increased range will still be there... coz it is an upgrade upgraded via trigger... perhaps you can use that
